mack f models

I would have to say that these old girls in my opinion were a true work horse in there day. fiberglass cab means no rust and all pedigree drive line meant a one stop shop for service and repairs. I grew up with these old girls and the history behind them is simply amazing so i thought it would be an idea to have a post for fmodels to match the b-models flinstones and superliners.

Ruff, ruff, springs to mind.

Good Idea, Youngmack!!!

here's one that did a real good job for Me quite a few years ago......

Yer locker door's still open. Things might get knocked off if you don't close it.

Does anybody remember NQX (North Queensland Express?). They seemed to run all F model Macks from what I saw coming into the yard where I worked in Melbourne in the late 70's.

NQX and QRX were part of Carpentaria Transport, half owned by TNT. QRX was the rail freight division and NQX the road freight division., one of their bigger subbies, Jimmy Latter used a lot of Macks, later Scania's, now KW's, I can't recall to many F models, mainly R models, though they may have had a subbie that ran south, Jimmy's stuff was mainly Queensland I thought. I remember QRX having one F model. It's all Toll now I think. Werkhorse probobly has more answers Scout.
